November 2015 in the Pacific Northwest

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Nice, cold air hanging on. PDX avoided a 50 degree disaster too.

Calm winds at pdx right now so hopefully they drop as fast as they are able.

 

47 at sle

46 at EUG today.

 

Knock a couple off those each of the next few days imo

 

Burns 23 with Nw winds gusting above 30mph.

I'm glad there's another low level cold enthusiast here.

Fog cleared out this morning and then as soon as the sun started setting it formed again.   This is a live cam view looking over North Bend.   Clear up here of course.    None of that north wind and dry air made it out here... we need the flow to turn a little more easterly.

Who else thinks the first 3 weeks of December 2005 was awesome?

I honestly do not remember it.... So, this tells me it may not have been awesome or I am losing it. Yes, I probably am losing it!

Probably a lot of peolple.

That period was a weenie epiphany for me. Never before had I truly understood or appreciated the power of low level cold.

Rare animal, but it had more upper level support than people give it credit for.

It was dry... so it was awesome.

 

Of course it became comically wet after that period... longest 'days with rain' streak in Seattle history.

 

We also woke up to 17 inches of snow on 12/1/05 (which fell in about 8 hours).   That was also our first winter in this house.

[Guest Winterdog]

31F here now. By the way, the 'F' stands for a faux or fake low level driven temperature reading.

There was certainly some continental air/troughing leading up to it. But for what it was we got about as much mileage out of it as possible.

I've seen the later stages and eventually transition event chalked up as being entirely homegrown when it was pretty much a 50/50 combo of the upper level pattern backing and the well-entrenched low level cold.

[MossMan]

Down to 30 degrees here. Going to be a chilly night!

It's fake cold. The chilliness is only an illusion.

No doubt the pattern reinvigorated a bit right before the westerlies smashed through. That helped.

Well since it's only fake cold I might as well pretend that it's July and go jetskiing!

Same live web cam over North Bend with the moon rising over the fog bank...

I'm so tired of snowless weather leading up to Christmas. Can't we ever get at least SOME snow around the middle of December? The only winter I can think of since 1996 with any snow around the middle of December leading up to Christmas is 2008.... 1998 got super cold and some places got snow, but Bellingham got nothing.

 

I would just like some holiday spirit enhancing snow. A few flakes, is that too much to ask!

 

Wahhh.

It began at the end of November up here. It made for some great scenery.. I got a lot of neat photos of the snow and fog.

 

Hard to believe that was 10 years ago.. wow.

[luminen]

I have a hunch we'll see snow in January...for once.

 

Meanwhile, Anchorage got up to 50F today and will experience some heavy rain and flooding from snowmelt and the rain, after a pretty cold couple weeks.

[Jesse]

43 at PDX and 33 at VUO.

 

Pretty amazing the difference that can exist between those two stations sometimes, considering they're so close.

The east wind is starting up. I don't think PDX will have a very impressive low tonight.

Repeat of January 2012 would be nice.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pdx is 4 degree warmer than any other hourly reporting station in oregon.

Brookings?

Troutdale is 33 with light winds.

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Brookings?

39

[SilverFallsAndrew]

Pendleton down to 15 now.

[MossMan]

27 currently.

[TT-SEA]

GFS is wetter for early next week. Maybe some mountain snow??

Not unless the EURO shows it, right?

That certainly helps... the Europeans spend more money on improving accuracy.

[TT-SEA]

Canadian is suddenly much wetter as well for next week. My son is anxiously waiting for snow for skiing.

[DareDuck]

As am I. This snow in town is great, but Bachelor needs to keep getting snow. They've gotten a respectable amount, but a dry period wouldn't be good.

[westiztehbest]

Got 1.5" of snow yesterday.  Finally got my power restored after 7 days from the 70 mph winds that occured on 11/17.  Last time outages were so widespread here...it was 1996 when this area had an epic ice storm.

[luvssnow_spokane]

I am down to 30 I thought I would be colder at this point ... Must be a little east wind out here

[Tyler Mode]

My temp is going up and down with the wind (calm to 8 mph max)

 

Bouncing between 31 and 34 the last 2 hours or so.

Pretty active pacific shown on the 0z tonight.  Maybe a couple of windstorm opportunities.  And a crap load of rain. 

 

[bainbridgekid]

This would be interesting.

 

[stuffradio]

There's arctic air somewhere at hour 384.
